It's beyond everyone's abilities I'm afraid. Kdepim is a very tightly
integrated module, splitting out any particular application hardly saves
any buildtime (the lion's share of code is in shared libraries which all
apps in PIM link to). However, if you want to avoid build times, use a
binary package (and poke the people responsible for the packagebuilding
if they're not available :). And since you'll get the additional PIM
functionality anyway, you might want to investigate what additional
features that Kontact offers might be of use for you - it has a pretty
nice and powerful organizer ...


Cheers,
